    From what I understand, it’s all pretty cheap too. So the profit margins for McDs were probably thinner.

      Last time I read a breakdown report on it, yeah, it was something in the range of…

      A typical street vendor banh mi has more actual like weight of food in a sandwich than a McD borgor, and the McD borgor is also between 2x to 4x as expensive, depending on exactly where you are in Vietnam.

      Also, lol, the vastly most profitable part of a McD meal is the soda, and then fries.

      Like a drink that costs you $3.00 at McDonalds costs them fractions of a penny.

      And… HFCS soda just has not worked too well in any Asian markets, basically.

      Thats how you end up with like, Diet Cucumber Coca Cola in Japan, lol, a lot of Asia already also has a lot of great drinks, such as boba tea… and just actual tea, etc.
